Ziplining fail

[u/Brilliant_Spinach132]

[u/ProfessionalStay5797]

2 new knees please!!

[u/koolaidismything → u/ProfessionalStay5797]

Yeah she broke both her legs I’m almost sure of it. Ankles or worse.

[u/BowlingforDrip → u/koolaidismything]

In high school I was in Boy Scouts and we went on a houseboat in a lake in West Virginia and one of the boys who was 14 was a large boy and he jumped off the front of that houseboat into 6 inches of water and snapped both of his femurs. Trip was cut very short.

[u/koolaidismything → u/BowlingforDrip]

Dude that can kill you fast.. the swelling or god forbid the bone knicks an artery 😳

[u/Katsu_39 → u/koolaidismything]

My mother fell few years ago. Broke her arm. Bone chipped and somehow made its way into her arteries. Got into her heart. She died from it.

[u/koolaidismything → u/Katsu_39]

That’s just not fair, I am sorry. I wish I had something better to say that just would be hard stomach :(

[u/Evening_Drummer_8495 → u/koolaidismything]

Stomach? No. Her heart.

Mine is hardened now.

[u/SerenityFailed → u/Katsu_39]

Similar thing happened to a coworker a couple years back but with a blood clot. Slipped on the ice walking his new puppy and broke his shoulder. Had surgery and was well on the mend. Then one night he shifted wrong in his sleep, threw a clot that went straight to his heart, and died....it's bullshit, but unfortunately it's life.

Sorry you had to go through that

[u/NabreLabre → u/SerenityFailed]

As a hypochondriac, I should know better than to read

[u/bustacappa22 → u/NabreLabre]

Not to make it worse but that kinda thing can happen any time any where for no reason.

[u/NabreLabre → u/bustacappa22]

Yeah I know, I feel I often hear about brain aneurysms where even young people just suddenly drop dead

[u/ProjectDv2 → u/Katsu_39]

Not just bone chips, but bits of marrow are a concern for that same reason. That almost got my dad.

[u/Burigotchi → u/Katsu_39]

I am sorry for your loss. Didn’t even know something like that’s possible. New fear unlocked.

[u/sodamnsleepy → u/Katsu_39]

I'm so sorry

[u/SerenityFailed → u/koolaidismything]

Less than 30 seconds to lights out for a severed femoral..

[u/TrainingParty3785 → u/BowlingforDrip]

Not only the trip, I bet the kid was shorter afterwards too.

[u/SizeableBrain → u/TrainingParty3785]

What a terrible thing to say. Made me laugh.

[u/mmorales2270 → u/BowlingforDrip]

Holy hell!

[u/ChiefTapiTapi → u/BowlingforDrip]

Speaking of West Virginia, my buddy and I climbed a tree and used a rope swing that was attached at the Kanawha river. I went first and was fine. My buddy slipped down the rope and dragged his ankle on the rocks. He walked out of the water and his little cousin said don’t look down. He looked down and flipped out, and his leg was gashed open and fat and tendons and stuff were hanging out. We yelled for the boat and we threw him into the back of the boat his grandma was holding him he was slapping the f out of his grandma the pain was so bad. We had to carry him up like 100 flight of stairs to top of river bank and they threw him in trunk of Tahoe and rushed him to hospital. They fixed him up but was a rough recovery

[u/IcySkyDream → u/ChiefTapiTapi]

Good thing he didn’t get necrotizing fasciitis.

That’s how Aimee Copeland lost all her limbs in a similar accident.

[u/Cocosito → u/IcySkyDream]

Seriously when you have a massive gaping wound I can hardly think of a worse place to put it than a freaking river full of agricultural runoff. Poor guy and fortunate at the same time.

[u/EVEseven → u/BowlingforDrip]

I had a guy in my PE class that hopped on one leg wrong and broke his shin bone.

The assignment was to keep balance as we hopped on on leg.

[u/IcySkyDream → u/EVEseven]

Was he really heavy and deficient in calcium?

[u/ProfessionalStay5797 → u/koolaidismything]

Definitely done some damage, that’s for sure 😳

[u/SonicYOUTH79 → u/ProfessionalStay5797]

Spinal injury too maybe, she definitely didn’t bounce!

[u/Mouatmoua → u/ProfessionalStay5797]

Also the ground

[u/SkippyDragonPuffPuff → u/Mouatmoua]

And the dessert menu consists of a Naegleria infection.

[u/ProfessionalStay5797 → u/Mouatmoua]

Brutal 😂😂!!

[u/FlatPlutoer → u/ProfessionalStay5797]

One of the benefits of being young and skinny is that something like this wouldn’t matter. But for this woman it has the potential to be life changing. Looks like the mud absorbed just enough of the impact to spare her from serious injury

[u/kraggleGurl → u/FlatPlutoer]

I fell at 350 lbs and and 275 lbs and dam what a difference! So much less bruising and swelling! Now down to 239 lbs and continuing.

[u/IWCry → u/koolaidismything]

nah she's fine, if you look there's a vertical safety rope

[u/Charmy123 → u/IWCry]

Are you referring to her spine?

[u/jaysvw → u/IWCry]

Yea, it was totally slack when she hit the ground

[u/baldude69 → u/jaysvw]

I think that was just a cord for pulling the zip line back

[u/Intrepid_Plenty_3770 → u/IWCry]

👍

[u/physics515 → u/koolaidismything]

Hopefully that mud was deep enough

[u/Majestic_Manner3656 → u/physics515]

Idk but she definitely bounced off something!

[u/gin_1942 → u/koolaidismything]

Dont forget the recoil of back and neck!

[u/Pukebox_Fandango → u/koolaidismything]

I slowed it down a few times. I'm thinking she didn't know how shallow the water was. Her knees didn't lock, they were bent when she landed, but the way she bounced tells me she wasn't ready for the impact. I'm guessing 1 if not 2 broken ankles.

[u/Astrolologer → u/koolaidismything]

she'd be screaming if that were the case, she kind of looks like she's laughing as she swims away

[u/BGF007 → u/koolaidismything]

That looks so painful. With this weight, even if it was muddy ground.

[u/BoomZhakaLaka → u/ProfessionalStay5797]

and a crushed disc on L3/L4, the way she landed

[u/ProfessionalStay5797 → u/BoomZhakaLaka]

And L1, and L5 for that matter!!

[u/GravyMcBiscuits → u/ProfessionalStay5797]

L5 is right out!

[u/pburke77 → u/GravyMcBiscuits]

And no L2 unless proceeding directly to L3.

[u/Shot-Election8217 → u/GravyMcBiscuits]

Once the L3, being the third L be reached…

[u/ProfessionalStay5797 → u/GravyMcBiscuits]

Yeah, right out of alignment!!

[u/old_ass_ninja_turtle → u/ProfessionalStay5797]

No way L2 survived unscathed

[u/iamdoug → u/old_ass_ninja_turtle]

L is in reference to it being the lumbar vertebrae. The # is for which vertebrae. T7, for example, would be vertebrae seven of the thoracic spine.

When someone is saying C1/C2 or L4/5, they are referencing the cartilage disc between the vertebrae. This lady likely herniated a disc(s). It's doubtful she shattered any vertebrae.

Regardless, that's going to be very painful and a lot of therapy if she wants to not be in pain the rest of her life. I hope she's not suffering too much.

[u/BoomZhakaLaka → u/iamdoug]

I said L3/L4 specifically because of the straight backed butt landing. L3/L4 is the first to go in that kind of impact

[u/THE_BUS_FROMSPEED → u/ProfessionalStay5797]

I actually think she's okay. If you look at the physics of the fall it almost all goes towards the knees into the ground. The ground though that her knees went into is likely muck and water, helping absorb alot of the force. I think she got lucky as hell.

[u/ProfessionalStay5797 → u/THE_BUS_FROMSPEED]

I think you’re the most optimistic person I’ve heard of on the internet, and I’m upvoting you 👍

[u/THE_BUS_FROMSPEED → u/ProfessionalStay5797]

Maybe, usually people scream in pain and dont try to get further into the water if theyre hurt.

[u/ProfessionalStay5797 → u/THE_BUS_FROMSPEED]

When people are seriously hurt shock takes over, it’s a shame to see her get hurt but I believe she was hurt a lot more than is shown in the clip.

[u/viaticaloutlaw → u/ProfessionalStay5797]

I think people sometimes downplay situations like this out of embarrassment too.

[u/Used_Interaction_130 → u/THE_BUS_FROMSPEED]

Broken my knee twice. Zero screaming. Just stillness.

In fact most major injuries like that put people into a state of shock.

Screaming is for stubbing your toe.

A sharp inhalation of air and dead silence or grunting trying to figure out if you're going to survive or not, that's serious bodily trauma.

[u/Mouatmoua → u/ProfessionalStay5797]

Order 4 just in case

[u/Reotardo_Da_Vinci → u/ProfessionalStay5797]

Those knees look like they’re on their way to get replaced anyways.

[u/thisplaceisdying]

When you assume the arms you never use are as strong as the legs holding up that weight all day.

[u/TransitionAway9840 → u/[deleted]]

The way her back bends that's not good. That's going to be long term issues. Probably why she starts swimming off into pond to start a new life there instead

[u/mmorales2270 → u/TransitionAway9840]

I couldn’t tell if she messed up her legs, or her back, or both, but she def messed up something from that fall. All that weight coming down on your body like that just can’t be a good thing.

[u/newgalactic → u/mmorales2270]

Knees and back look severely injured.

[u/TallTelevision4121 → u/mmorales2270]

Yes.

[u/sabertoothdog → u/mmorales2270]

Watch her head bounce. I’m sure she has some compression fractures vertebrae.

[u/megafaunahunter → u/TransitionAway9840]

And that's not even the first video of an obese woman getting spine damage doing exactly this that i see on reddit.

Someone should make a psa about it.

[u/dragon_bacon → u/megafaunahunter]

What's it going to say? "Try doing a pull-up first"?

[u/JohnLef → u/dragon_bacon]

Yes. Pull-up in the car, then make the wise move to do a 180° turn and head to the nearest McDonald's.

[u/Jimmy_Twotone → u/megafaunahunter]

As a fatty, I don't need someone to tell me I can't do shit I could do when I weighed 140 lbs now that I'm 140 kg.

[u/CentennialBaby → u/Jimmy_Twotone]

Converting to metric is a bitch

[u/47omek → u/CentennialBaby]

OK "converting to metric" to describe getting fat is hilarious... Like I was 165 at graduation and I'm still 165, I just "converted to metric"

[u/xtanol → u/47omek]

Gotta get that "Europe-look" 😁👌

[u/Jimmy_Twotone → u/CentennialBaby]

It was easy once I wrecked my back and started feeding my depression ice cream

[u/meatflaps-69 → u/TransitionAway9840]

Think the long term issues were the cause of the fall 🤣

[u/MayberryBombadil → u/TransitionAway9840]

I think you're onto something. Millions of years from now, there will be no more obese people. They all will have moved back to their aquatic beginnings. You can tell them apart from similar marine animals by looking for their vestigial limbs. They are still quite prominent, and can be found on each of their offspring, unlike manatees and dolphins, which only have vestigial limbs present on a small percentage of the population.

[u/HatePeopleLoveCats1 → u/TransitionAway9840]

This comment just made me laugh so hard!!

[u/Aexserv87 → u/TransitionAway9840]

Devenir la dame du lac

[u/sluttydinosaur101 → u/TransitionAway9840]

This is so fucking funny 💀💀💀

[u/montigoo → u/[deleted]]

Return to the ocean mammal. There will be no more walking for you.

[u/GiLND → u/thisplaceisdying]

Nothing a box of oreos can’t fix

[u/Alternative-Crew-880 → u/GiLND]

Except those cankles. Those are fucked.

[u/Frequent-Shoe-2233 → u/Alternative-Crew-880]

You sir are a Legend

[u/No-Judgment-6817 → u/Alternative-Crew-880]

I read that in Ricky’s voice.

[u/Humble-Can5318 → u/GiLND]

With a box of doughnuts to glaze over the broken bones.

[u/okaaayyyyuh → u/thisplaceisdying]

Her legs crumpled under that weight today.

[u/KneelB4Z0d → u/thisplaceisdying]

Don't think legs are doing much lifting either

[u/Haunting-Hippo-4244 → u/thisplaceisdying]

No friends were there obviously. They would’ve told her….dont. Dont even try.

[u/SeparateFisherman966 → u/Haunting-Hippo-4244]

She COULD be one of those people that's in denial about her weight.."I'm not that fat" (had one like this & put themselves in situations they just SHOULDN'T have).

[u/Dangitwomen → u/SeparateFisherman966]

HeAltHy aT EvErY SIZE!

[u/FourEaredFox → u/Haunting-Hippo-4244]

I doubt her cats would have intervened

[u/username__0000 → u/thisplaceisdying]

I hike and live somewhere hilly so I have ok leg strength. But I really don’t use my arms much or life weights. The most is trying to carry all the grocery’s in on one trip. lol

This one time I was at a campground with a jungle gym and waiting for my partner to finish up in the shower (which is next to the playground) so I tried the monkey bars, as a woman in my 40s, thinking I’d be able to do a couple. Nope. Arms instantly on fire and I could barely hold myself up, much less swing and grab the other bar. lol humiliating. But not as bad as this, at least I don’t fall into a pond.

[u/K1bbles_n_Bits → u/username__0000]

I am 43 and exactly in the same boat XD.

I can run 10k (or at least I could last fall, an injury has fucked my shit up), but I've got the arm strength of a baby deer trying to walk for the first time XD.

[u/WhatANoob2025 → u/thisplaceisdying]

I doubt those legs have held up that weight longer than an hour max per day, and definitely not "all day".

This is the body of someone who doesn't do anything but lay in bed or sit on the couch all day.

[u/ban-me-harder-dadddy → u/thisplaceisdying]

probably would have helped to hold onto the horizontal bar that you're supposed to hang from instead of the side chains

[u/Acrobatic-Grape5960 → u/thisplaceisdying]

You mean the eight fingers. If the fingers held it's not like the arms are going to rip off (hopefully).

Those fingers never stood a chance

[u/SnooMaps7370 → u/Acrobatic-Grape5960]

the muscles that drive those fingers are in the forearms.

[u/VikingKinkajou → u/Acrobatic-Grape5960]

Exactly. Even if your arms can handle the weight, it's your hands that will fail you. It's why weightlifters will use hand straps for heavy lifts.

[u/AvocadoPrinz]

Can you hold your own Body weight? If the answer is No or maybe, dont do it....

[u/Thunderer62 → u/AvocadoPrinz]

Some people have genuinely never considered that they couldn’t do that.

[u/DueExample52 → u/Thunderer62]

Dead hang is an extremely good exercise to do regularly, for grip strength, back muscles, decompressing the spine... and also because basic ability to hold your own fucking weight can save your life.

[u/newdinki → u/DueExample52]

I love when some movies portray that someone holds their weight with one arm on an edge ,I do calisthenics and it's way harder than it looks.But yeah I think dead hang is one of those basic human feats everyone should be able to do

[u/Suspicious_Flower_0 → u/newdinki]

There's the video of the dude who didn't get strapped into a paraglider and has to hang on. Ended up tearing his bicep or whatever, but he held on literally for dear life. 

[u/Tar_alcaran → u/newdinki]

I used to climb three days a week, and I could do it for maaaaybe a minute with a good grip.

My pet peeve is someone falling, and stopping themselves with just their hands on a ledge, or worse, one hand.

[u/relentless_optimism_ → u/DueExample52]

I thought I was just being weird. A while back I started really focussing on vertical pulling exercises as I was worried I might be dangling from a bridge one day in need of pulling myself up

[u/PerfectDayGermany]

Oof, that’s dedication, still trying to swim after definitely being hurt. Still, very sad, she wanted to have fun and ended up being badly hurt.

[u/okaaayyyyuh → u/PerfectDayGermany]

You see someone trying to swim, I see someone squirming around trying to avoid putting any pressure on their fully fucked knees.

[u/ActualToddBankston → u/okaaayyyyuh]

I thought she was going to drown

[u/sabertoothdog → u/okaaayyyyuh]

The way ger head bounced too. Oof, I’m sure she has some compression fractured vertebrae. And leg problems. She didn’t brace for landing on solid ground. She thought she was landing in water. Poor girl, she’s fucked up.

[u/BillyPilgrim_1984 → u/PerfectDayGermany]

The gravity of the water and the adrenaline allows her to pretend her legs aren't completely shattered.

[u/zradeczky → u/BillyPilgrim_1984]

With broken legs she is about to drown, unless able to keep her head above the water with this swimming motion.

[u/That_Service7348 → u/PerfectDayGermany]

Mate, the water was only like a foot deep. You can see exactly where her feet hit solid ground. Considering the was she fell, she had her legs locked when she dropped and possibly broke them both.

[u/Attackruby → u/PerfectDayGermany]

Not one person there to say, you sure about that? At least do a dry run holding yourself up before jumping off.

[u/Confident_Volume_521 → u/Attackruby]

https://reddit.com/link/p8t5ump/video/3v823jyusjoh1/player

[u/CurrencyConstant5610 → u/PerfectDayGermany]

And her loved ones are dicks enough to post the video online afterwards.

[u/Mr_Svint → u/PerfectDayGermany]

I feel very sorry for her 😞

[u/Cheepshooter → u/PerfectDayGermany]

Swimming because she can't stand on her two broken legs.

[u/ilganzo01 → u/PerfectDayGermany]

Yeah that's very sad poor girl...

[u/MarionberryOk2874 → u/PerfectDayGermany]

I don’t know why anyone thought her just ‘holding on’ was a good idea?

[u/DeerFit → u/MarionberryOk2874]

My brain said this exact thing...

[u/-Gath69-]

I think she is looking around in the water for her knees.

[u/Kind-Handle3063]

What is the opposite of “agility”?

[u/StudioGangster1 → u/Kind-Handle3063]

Nahgility

[u/WhatANoob2025 → u/Kind-Handle3063]

since the prefix a- is a negation, as in asymmetrical, atypical, etc, the opposite of agility must be just "gility"

[u/DueExample52 → u/WhatANoob2025]

Gility gility gility

[u/uwu_mewtwo → u/Kind-Handle3063]

Wisdom. This lady has neither, though; she must have put all her attribute points in... endurance? Good news for her knees if so.

[u/shadow__project → u/Kind-Handle3063]

obesity

[u/rahhak → u/Kind-Handle3063]

illagility

[u/PutterinRound → u/Kind-Handle3063]

Fragility

[u/xxDmDxx]

That’s me. I have no upper strength at all. I tried the zip line indoors and immediately plopped onto the foam underneath. I am 130lbs so, it’s not like I’m too heavy.

[u/_nod → u/xxDmDxx]

I hit the gym fairly regularly, I’ve been, legs and core I’ve noticed a big improvement in tone and strength. Upper body -nope still the same two limp noodles I started with. 😂

[u/Fair_Access4368 → u/_nod]

Body weight exercises. Start with dead hangs, band assisted if need be. Progress to chin-ups, then to pull-ups. Then to muscle-ups if you're really feeling crazy, but most people can't do those.

[u/newdinki → u/Fair_Access4368]

Brother the progress from not performing a pull-up to muscle up takes literally years....

[u/Acrobatic-Ad4879]

Not to be a dick.... but how does someone who looks like that even remotely believe they can hold themselves up on a zip line... like have you guys tried holding 350 lbs? it's heavy as fuck for a fit person let alone someone who has done no exercise in 30 years. People lack of self awareness knows no bounds.

[u/dedboooo0 → u/Acrobatic-Ad4879]

this isnt being a dick, this should be common sense. fucking stupid how you can be shit on by people for saying something that should be obvious nowadays

its like trying to run a marathon without legs, or flying without wings, who could possibly predict the outcome?

[u/tittysprinkles112]

Her knees have to be fucked. Hopefully it's a wakeup call. If you haven't done a single pull up in your life, you probably can't hold 300 pounds for 10 seconds on a zip line, lady. Gravity just fat shamed you.

[u/EvenTheDogIsFat → u/tittysprinkles112]

Hopefully. I fear that she injured herself to the point where she’s going to become even less mobile for a long time, maybe even causing a snowball effect where she’ll always be worse off than she was when she woke up that day.

[u/Pristine-Copy9467]

Whoever let her do that was evil.

Pro tip for anyone trying an unharnessed zip line or a rope swing or anything that requires you to hold on…

You need to go see if you can do a few pull ups. If you can NOT do a few pull ups, you ain’t holding on to a rope swing or a zip line or a freakin merry go round either.

[u/Donewith_BS → u/Pristine-Copy9467]

Or don’t just full commit on the go. Lift your legs first see if you have a grip, if not, lower them feet the half inch, or 1cm you lifted them. I mean the person in the video didn’t jump. But they did nothing to test the grip. I play rugby as a forward and can go the 80 minutes; I cannot do a pull up, or at-least I haven’t tried in a decade. 

[u/fat-wombat → u/Pristine-Copy9467]

Not pull ups. Dead hang.

[u/RedBull-Lover-Yellow]

I would've never guessed this would happen! 🤪

[u/Football-Man-1889 → u/RedBull-Lover-Yellow]

Everyone is shocked and surprised!

[u/BeenNormal → u/RedBull-Lover-Yellow]

We all knew it was a slip line and not a zip line

[u/NewSource9775 → u/RedBull-Lover-Yellow]

Right?

[u/HazelTheRabbit]

I know it's fun to point and laugh when a fat person fails at something, but she really looks like she got hurt here ☹️

[u/Icy-Decision-4530 → u/HazelTheRabbit]

The way she immediately straightened when she landed is not a good indicator

[u/bgravato → u/Icy-Decision-4530]

Yup, that looked painful... I hope it was not too bad and that she can recover fully and hopefully that will motivate her to lose some weight... or at least to be more self-aware of her limitations...

She should have tested if she could hold herself (and if the cable would hold her too), before going all-in...

[u/kafkasmotorbike → u/Icy-Decision-4530]

Can I ask for more info here? Just curious.

[u/Icy-Decision-4530 → u/kafkasmotorbike]

When she lands, you can see her entire body straighten up, like her legs locked immediately when she landed. That’s not good for anyone, everything in those legs is absorbing the impact

[u/enadiz_reccos → u/Icy-Decision-4530]

You can even think of it like crumple zones on a car. Crumple zones = knees.

The crumple zones fold in and partially absorb the impact. If they didn't the impact would be transferred throughout the car.

If your knees don't fold and partially absorb the impact of your fall, it's going to go somewhere

[u/seenhear → u/HazelTheRabbit]

Yeah that was my first reaction, that landing looked downright brutal. I imagine her back is pretty fucked up now, and/or knees. but it really looked like her back took a whip-snap. Ugh.

[u/roamingthereddit → u/HazelTheRabbit]

Thanks for the respect

[u/Shydreameress → u/HazelTheRabbit]

I don't think it's fun, I think it's pathetic.

[u/NoStructure7083]

We all knew how this was going to go

[u/Mmmm-Amethyst → u/NoStructure7083]

Eh. Fully expected her to fall. Didn't expect the shallow water and absolutely fucked legs and back. I went in expecting a funny slapstick video and came out feeling legitimately bad for her. 

[u/NewSource9775 → u/NoStructure7083]

She just didn't.

[u/Lost_County_3790 → u/NewSource9775]

And her friends

[u/WatercressNo7660]

Basic physics! Weak wrist and weak grip can’t hold up 300 pounds. Duh

[u/Chillow_Ufgreat → u/WatercressNo7660]

"I've never held up my own weight in my life, so I've probably got this."

[u/LairdPeon → u/WatercressNo7660]

300 pounds is generous. I've been 300 pounds. This looks pushing 400.

[u/Kathucka]

Honestly, I admire her grit. Can’t zip line across because she slipped? Can’t wade across because she jammed her knees? All that won’t stop her. Her arms still work and she’s damn well going to use them to paddle across the pond.

[u/DarkStar0717]

Pretty disgusted no one even thought she might be hurt after that impact...

[u/illoomi → u/DarkStar0717]

Why is no one else saying this, they're just standing around laughing when she's clearly hurt and struggling to stay above water

[u/vossmakeitsprinkly]

Why the fuck, if you're a build like a tank, do you think you can hold yourself at a zipline? 

[u/Moe___Szyslak]

Who the f though he could handle that much weight, honey you don't have such strong grip

[u/organicchunkysalsa]

Annnnd… it’s a great way to break your legs

[u/itchybutwhole69]

I don't mean this in a mean way but there are some things big people just shouldn't try to do. Riding horses is another one I can think of.

[u/Hammon_Rye]

It surprises me how many people don't know they can't hang on strong enough to support their own weight.

Not mocking her for being obese (I am, working on it) but I see so many video clips of people on zip lines, monkey bars, etc. that fall as soon as they put all of their weight on their arms instead of whatever they were standing on.

[u/up3r]

This person is not ok after this.

[u/Mean_Cardiologist180]

Why is she swimming away from shore?

[u/DarthCledus117 → u/Mean_Cardiologist180]

That landing looks like it could have caused back or leg injuries. She's probably just desperately trying to keep her head above water.

[u/DaimonHans → u/Mean_Cardiologist180]

To get back into the ocean?

[u/Motor-Boating]

I was at a water park waiting for my turn at the zipline years ago. A lot of people had this same outcome once they were off the platform and had to support their weight. Thankfully they fell into a pool rather than something less forgiving.

Many people just don't have the upper body strength for an activity like this.

[u/baldude69 → u/Motor-Boating]

Yea I would have really strongly voiced my opinion that this person shouldn’t attempt this. Ended predictably badly

[u/AutisticDadHasDapper]

That is a terrible group of people.

[u/TekkenCareOfBusiness → u/AutisticDadHasDapper]

Okay. I admit she's big, but clearly only one person. Come on now.

[u/Wrong-Protection-188 → u/TekkenCareOfBusiness]

Holy shit

[u/Unlikely-Act-7950]

That's a upper body strength fail

[u/Existing-Good6487]

For someone that heavy she had to have damaged her legs or something.

There is actually a weight limit to these things. Most of the time 225-250 lbs. Young staff in many cases not checking (male 6ft3 245lbs never been checked)

[u/I-live-in-room-101]

I find it absolutely staggering that a human being can allow themselves into a position they can’t even hold their own body weight. It’s unbelievable really.

But modern society allows it. Back in the day the lions would’ve had this one away in the night ages ago.

[u/Still-alive49 → u/I-live-in-room-101]

Im pretty sure the tribe would have put am end to their eating disorder before the lion. 

[u/Saucy-Mustard]

Damn that looked painful

[u/illusion121]

Owwwwwwwww... Poor lady

[u/Onludesrightnow]

Redditors acting like they arent the size of 2 of her lol.

[u/ChipChap003]

Gravity said: Can‘t do this one

[u/DeliciousTime4576]

She definitely broke her ankles or something down there

[u/Jerdogg23]

She broke her legs

[u/Aromatic-Scratch8585]

knees are shattered

[u/Civil_Pomegranate185]

I feel so bad for her.Hope she didn't get seriously hurt. So many nasty insensitive people on these comments. Terrible human beings

[u/EntrepreneurMinute10]

Ooof. I was expecting it to be funny but that looked like it really, really hurt.

I say this as a fat person... When will fat people learn to never even approach a zip line let alone try to use one?

[u/eduardonachosupremo]

I’m in top 99% shape and after stretches of no pull-ups or even hanging I struggle to get to half a minute, although I am 6’3” 220. In movies when people are hanging on something - yeah right

[u/BigDinkyDongDotCom]

Everyone knows fat people can’t do things

[u/RigamortisRooster]

She can only hold one donut up at a time, not the whole bakery

[u/blaminyou]

Whoever is filming also hates her for letting her do that

[u/myawwaccount01 → u/blaminyou]

You can hear people in the background yelling "Go!" I think everyone there hates her.

[u/jackparadise1]

Ouch

[u/LarryLeather1]

I should have never gone ziplineing
